New Nourishing Smoothie Recipe
This smoothie has got your back. The ingredients in this delicious and refreshing smoothie will work hard for you: boosting digestion, fighting inflammation, firing up your immune system, and energizing you for all your daily adventures.
The hemp seeds add an impressive line-up of essential minerals and an omega-3 boost that you won’t want to miss, but ground flax can also be used.
Pair this smoothie with a Superhero Muffin (Shalane Flanagan’s favorite marathon training recipe) and you’ve got a breakfast that is easy to pack and will keep you sustained so that you’re not tempted to skip that lunch hour run.
Creamy Dreamy Raspberry-Hemp Smoothie Recipe
Serves 2
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 large navel orange or grapefruit, peeled, seeds removed
- 1 carrot, peeled
- 1-inch nob ginger, peeled
- 1-inch nob turmeric, peeled (optional)
- 1/2 cup plain, whole milk yogurt
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds)
- 1 cup coconut water or more to taste (or nut milk or water*)
Combine all of the ingredients above in a blender. Blend on high speed for several minutes until smooth.
*If you use water or unsweetened nut milk, add a few dates to sweeten up the smoothie.
Protein Boost – Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of high-quality collagen powder (protein powders can be difficult to digest, always test new foods on a day when you don’t have a big training run).
Make it a Meal – Add half an avocado plus 1 small frozen banana to thicken the smoothie (you may need to add a little more water). Serve as a smoothie bowl topped with homemade granola (or our Picky Performance Granola).
